Heidar Baba

Ni a month ago

Heidar Baba is the pinnacle of my love affair with Persian food. I’ve been eating here for over a decade, and the combination of Persian saffron rice and kabob, that wonderful mixture of flavours in my mouth, always feels so homey. And then there’s the smell of Persian black tea, served in a transparent glass mug. That is the right way to do it. It reminds me of how we Chinese pour tea into glass as well, so you can see the vibrant color of the tea. Especially with black tea, that beautiful deep color is my favourite. Paired with my fascination with Persian history, I sometimes find myself thinking of the names Xerxes, Darius, and Cyrus while I’m sitting here eating.

Excellent food and service. The best Iranian kebab I’ve had in the states so far.

My mother, step father, and I ate there over a year ago. They kindly asked me to leave a review on Yelp—I don't have Yelp. And over time I forgot. My step father wants to eat there for Father's Day...so I'm leaving a long overdue review now. The food is delicious, larg portions, place is clean and family owned— the main things I look for when choosing a restaurant.

I came here for dinner. I left with a near-religious experience and a deep understanding of my digestive system. Ordered the kebab koobideh. At the time it seemed normal. Tasted dryish. Nothing suspicious. Little did I know I had just signed a contract with chaos dressed in a black dress. About 6 hours later my stomach started making noises that sounded like a washing machine full of bricks. By midnight I was sprinting to the bathroom like an Olympic athlete. At 3AM I achieved a level of speed and panic previously thought impossible for the human body. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t rest. I simply existed… moving between my bed and the toilet like a tragic side quest. At one point I sat on the bathroom floor, staring into the distance, whispering to myself: “Was the kebab worth it?” It was not. Service was also incredible… in the sense that the staff managed to completely disappear the moment we needed anything. Water? Gone. Waiter? Gone. Hope? Also gone. Honestly the kebab gave me such an intense life experience that I now know exactly how astronauts feel during rocket launch: extreme pressure, violent turbulence, and a lot of praying. Would I come back? Only if my toilet asked

Great food and super nice staff! I’ve tried a few different dishes here and they’ve all been delicious. The Beef Soltani is my go to, highly recommend!
